...Federal official rides the airlines more than SEChairman Kennedy. In the last year he has flown more than 65,000 miles. Lately in one week he flew to San Francisco for the opening of a regional branch office, on to Los Angeles (with a stop-over at San Simeon to chat with William Randolph Hearst) and back to Washington via Pittsburgh. At the week's end he hopped to Manhattan. About once a fortnight he manages to week-end with his wife and as many of his nine children as he can collect-in the winter at Palm Beach...
...small bloc of EPIC legislators controls the Democratic minority, passed the tax bill recently, 70-to-5. Even though a safely conservative Senate was expected to modify the measure, Governor Merriam has come in for a prodigious amount of kicking around by the Hearst Press (whose master at San Simeon would be caught squarely by the tax), industrialists and rich folk in general. Screamed the Hearst San Francisco Examiner last week: "Extortionate and confiscatory taxation will mean . . . devastation of business, paralysis of industry. . . ."

No yessing Hearstling, he some-times lectures Mr. Hearst as if he were a small boy. Visitors at the Hearst castle at San Simeon tell of the wistful note in the querulous Hearst voice: "I'd like to buy it, but Mr. Neylan won't let me." He usually buys it anyway, and Chancellor of Exchequer Neylan finds the money. Periodically Chancellor Neylan threatens to resign. The fact that he does...
...Russia old Simeon Horowitz reads eagerly of his son's development. Wistfully he reviews the old days when his job as an electrical engineer kept the family comfortable, enabled him to take the stand that no son of his should ever be exploited as a prodigy. Vladimir's schooling was to last until he was 24-until the Revolution interfered. The family lost its home, its money, even the piano from which the young musician could rarely be pried. An uncle who was a music critic arranged for his first public appearance in 1922. Year after, Vladimir played...
